Well isn't that something. After all these years I seem to have stumbled upon that very thing. The result of tonight's exploits:

Have fun pulling the motor.

AaronGTR · 05-02-2015, 09:12 AM

20w-50 racing oil? What are you putting that in?

tipnitty · 05-02-2015, 10:43 AM

Had a fun trip to the city for cars and coffee. Was one of the last guys there. Pretty good time.

It goes in the Alero. That's what the shop that built the motor specified.

How's this for 160k?

Random off topic question:

Is it possible to somehow make your window tint darker? My tint is just a little too light in the front, and I would like to make it a little darker.

Another question - can you tint over tint? Like put a sheet of 20% over my 35%?

You can tint over tint. You could probably just put a 50% tint over the current tint and it would darken it up.

Do you know what percent I need to make all the time the same darkness? Back is 20% and front is 35%.

sleepyalero · 05-03-2015, 06:14 PM

Just do another 35% coat. 50 is like a clear window imo.

Math bro. x(.35)=(.2)

At least I think so

Hey guys, I haven't been on in awhile and thought I'd give a quick update for anyone who cares. After the accident I was given a check for $633 to fix my bumper, however, that with that money I said fuhk the bumper and bought tires instead. With me still parking in college parking lots I see new dings everyday so I might as well wait to get the panels repaired.

Anyway, I also bought clear corner headlights because my stock ones looked like crap and were falling apart. I loved them on my GAGT so I figured they would look good on the stang. Here's a couple pictures. I kept the same tire size for now until I can afford rims and fatter tires.

An installer will know. As far as I know there aren't any cost differences between tint percentages.
